Chasing the DAO Attacker’s Wake – A second exploit

I have asked if there is a contract simulator and I got no response.

Even though the coding experience seems pretty poor, it doesn't appear to be particularly dangerous as bad contracts can just be rolled back.

There is no contract simulator AFAIK, but you can deploy contracts to a test network or your own private test network. The benefit there being it's cheaper from a Gas perspective, and you don't pollute the main network.

Aside from running on a test chain there's the Mix IDE, which basically does have a simulator, and an actual debugger. So far it's kinda unstable and tends to crash, but I like it a lot anyway.
